Mac’s Drive-In in Waterloo is a Finger Lakes favorite, known for its old-school curb service and retro charm. This roadside staple along Route 5&20 has drawn crowds for over 50 years.
They’re one of the few places still pouring Rich’s root beer, mixed the traditional way, and have been known to fry up over 1,500 pounds of French fries in a single day. Guests can dine inside, outside, or right from their cars—just like the good old days.
Mac’s remains a beloved piece of Upstate New York’s drive-in culture, offering more than just food—it’s a roadside experience frozen in time.
